As of today, the stimulus payment date is in sharp focus, with millions awaiting their next round of relief. The U.S. Treasury and IRS have confirmed that a $1,390 one-time payment for low- and middle-income Americans will be sent out in late summer 2025. Eligible recipients will receive the money via direct deposit, paper check, or EIP debit card.
Alongside the confirmed payment, social media has been buzzing with rumors of a $2,000 stimulus check. While these claims have attracted attention, no official government body has confirmed such a payout. Officials advise relying only on official channels for accurate updates.
At the state level, Alaska is moving ahead with its Permanent Fund Dividend (PFD) payments—often compared to stimulus checks—worth up to $1,702. Payment batches are scheduled for August 21, September 11, October 2, and October 23, 2025.
